Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practices for thousands of years. According to the original principles, Qi (pronounced chee & translated as vital energy) flows around the body through channels (called meridians) with specific strength & force.
It is believed that a blockage in the meridian will disrupt the flow of Qi, resulting in pain, illness & various other symptoms. Acupuncture needles are therefore inserted into specific points to ‘unblock’ the meridians & promote the natural flow of Qi, which in turn balances Yin & Yang.

In recent decades Acupuncture has gained increasing popularity in the Western world due to the development of diagnostic equipment that enables researchers to ‘visualise’ the effects of Acupuncture.
